TRON: LEGACY (2010) dir. Joseph Kosinski
Haven’t seen this, because I love TRON so much, and everyone I know who saw Legacy hated it.
But these gifsets are great. It’s a really great *looking* movie.
It wasn’t a perfect movie but I loved it because it was in that universe with these sfx and it was gorgeous.

I loved this car. And my ‘88 was this color. Although this looks like an ‘89.
Lt. Harris blinked his eyes, the numbers blurred together. Concentration was fleeting. All the cups of strong coffee did little to enhance concentration. He could feel the impending energy crash.
“Focus!”, he mumbled to himself. Concentrate! They’re depending on you.
Panic grew within, and Harris struggled, the basic calculations grew difficult as the panic took hold within. Remaining bridge crew periodically glanced over, sharing looks of concern and despair. Where are we?
“Lt. Harris,” said Captain Jennings as she approached his nav-console. “Take a breath. Come on. Inhale…”
He closed his eyes, taking in a deep breath, with many of the crew joining in the effort.
“Hold…and exhale,” said the captain. “Again…inhale…exhale. Work the problem.”
Harris felt a surge of focus and building confidence as followed the breathing exercises. He opened his eyes, feeling more calmed and focused. “Thank you, Captain.”
“How’re the numbers looking?” Jennings said, patting him on his shoulder.
“Captain, the computer glitch jumbled everything. It’s too soon to know root causes, but will need to recalculate.” He glanced out the viewport, the nebulae a beautiful combination of blues, greens, and browns. “At best, we can get a general direction and rely on dead reckoning. At worst,” his voice trailed off.
“At worst?”
“Yes, at worst we’ll use up energy and be no closer to finding our way. Probably one jump, maybe two, and we’ll be drifting.” The conclusion crystal clear to everyone.
The weight of the moment built. The pressure approached critical levels. Harris felt his heart thump, and breathed deeply again to maintain control. A dozen eyes were focused on him, their lives, as well as the rest of the crew, depending on his calculations, and to be honest, some educated guesses. He entered the numbers, checking manually against the computer. His mouth was dry.
“Got the new numbers in the system, Captain,” Harris said, nodding sharply.
“Thank you, Lt. Harris,” said the captain. “Helm, set course.”
“Course laid in, Captain,” said Ensign Walker from the console.
“And…engage!”
Harris closed his eyes, hoping and praying that his numbers were good. Here we go.

This is fun writing. And I love it.
Jürgen Klopp’s message to supporters
I don’t think this is a moment where the thoughts of a football manager should be important, but I understand for our supporters they will want to hear from the team and I will front that.
First and foremost, all of us have to do whatever we can to protect one another. In society I mean. This should be the case all the time in life, but in this moment I think it matters more than ever.
I’ve said before that football always seems the most important of the least important things. Today, football and football matches really aren’t important at all.
Of course, we don’t want to play in front of an empty stadium and we don’t want games or competitions suspended, but if doing so helps one individual stay healthy - just one - we do it no questions asked.
If it’s a choice between football and the good of the wider society, it’s no contest. Really, it isn’t.
Today’s decision and announcement is being implemented with the motive of keeping people safe. Because of that we support it completely. We have seen members of teams we compete against become ill. This virus has shown that being involved in football offers no immunity. To our rival clubs and individuals who are affected and to those who later will become so, you are in our thoughts and prayers.
None of us know in this moment what the final outcome will be, but as a team we have to have belief that the authorities make decisions based on sound judgement and morality.
Yes, I am the manager of this team and club and therefore carry a leadership responsibility with regards to our future on the pitch. But I think in the present moment, with so many people around our city, the region, the country and the world facing anxiety and uncertainty, it would be entirely wrong to speak about anything other than advising people to follow expert advice and look after themselves and each other.
The message from the team to our supporters is only about your well-being. Put your health first. Don’t take any risk. Think about the vulnerable in our society and act where possible with compassion for them.
Please look after yourselves and look out for each other.
You’ll Never Walk Alone,
Jürgen
53 men and women, sworn to protect and defend America and her ideals, failed to do that, today.
53 men and women did what no army or government has been able to do for over 250 years. They took the fundamental principle that America is built upon, that no person is above the law, and they destroyed it. They destroyed it in service of the most corrupt and plainly criminal person to ever hold the office of president.
Over the coming weeks and months, more evidence of Trump’s lawbreaking and criminality will continue to pile up, and the full extent of their cover-up will be known. They know this, and they don’t care.
May these men and women be remembered by history for the partisan cowards they are. When America and all of her people needed them the most, they failed, and they failed in service of a criminal, who is now emboldened to become the autocrat he has always dreamed of becoming. They know this, and they don’t care.
America as I have known it for my entire life was killed today, stabbed in the back 53 times, betrayed by the very people who were entrusted with defending her.
May those people never have a single moment of peace for the rest of their lives. May they be shouted at and shamed and driven from public life into the dark corners of the world, like the rats they are.
Neurotic people live longer.
Studies show those who are often stressed, get irritated easily, and worry about things tend to have longer life spans than people who are more laid back.
Because that seems TOTALLY fair.
